Sympathy for MIS- Beecher.
TWO CHICAGO CONGREGATIONS REPUpIATE THE ACTION
OF THE MINISTERS' MEETING.

CHICAGO, March 1O.-At the prayer meeting OF
the Leavfut tStreetCOngregatiOnac church last night
Rev. Theodore P. Prudden, the pastor, who both
spoke and voted for the Beecher resolution of con-
dolence In the ministers meeting, suggested that
the church ought not to rest silent under the
statements so publicly made, and after several
speeches OF unqualified approval OF his suggeS-
uOns the church by unanimous vote requested
him TO send telegram OF coincidence to Mrs.
Beecher. AT missionary meeting held last night
In the Union Park congregational church the
pastor, Rev. DIR. Noble, Ia Introducing Rev. +. A..
Adams, said that he regretted from the bottom OF
his heart the recent action OF the Congregational
ministers about the sending OF letters OF SYM
pathy to Mrs. Beecher. He was very sorry that
he was not present in person, for had he been
the letter would have gone at least from the min
ority. He deprecated the preachers lack OF good
sense, and said that although on theological
points many OF them altogether differed from Mr..
Beecher, still all must admit that they had lost
the foremost pulpit orator in America and one OF
the abieSt men. DIR. Mobiles remarks were ap-
plauded, and it was unanimously voted that the
congregation send their sincere sympathy to Mrs.
Beecher.
